This year, H.R.H. The Princess of Hanover, President of the Princess Grace Foundation, has selected “Sunset” as the theme for the 69th edition of the Bal de la Rose 2025, entrusting her friend Christian Louboutin with complete creative freedom to transform Sporting Monte-Carlo’s Salle des Étoiles in to a tropical paradise.
The Bal de la Rose is held in support of the Princess Grace Foundation, founded in 1964 by Princess Grace of Monaco. Over the years, the Foundation has provided vital support for humanitarian projects benefiting children and has made significant contributions to cultural initiatives. With over 30 million euros distributed, its efforts have funded pediatric medical research, hospital equipment, and accommodations for families near treatment centers acrossFrance, as well as cultural projects in Monaco. The annual Bal de la Rose serves as a key fundraising event, and this year’s edition will further advance the Foundation’s mission of compassion and generosity, including equipping the new pediatric wing at Monaco’s Princess Grace Hospital.
